Care Packages
Little Patriots Embraced
Deployment Package Program
The LPE Family Package was designed for our military families. It is our goal to deliver this package to each family facing deployment. It is our way of saying how much we love and appreciate them for their service and sacrifice.
Items in our deployment package offer emotional support for family members. Research shows that the contents of our deployment package help alleviate stress and anxiety for children.
Operation Courage is Beautiful
Operation Courage is Beautiful's Mission: To bring a little joy and femininity to our active duty, deployed US servicewomen through care packages geared for women.
Operation Courage is Beautiful (OCIB) began its work to support women in uniform in 2009 as a project of founder Cindy Chan in collaboration with local military organizations. OCIB is now a 501(c)3 tax-exempt, non-profit organization in which donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Tax ID#47-4812161.
Between 150,000 to 200,000 active duty personnel are currently deployed overseas, 20% of which are women. Over 75% of our care package requests come from currently deployed servicemembers. Over 95% of our care package requests are for women. Every year we fulfill these requests, shipping on average over 4.5 tons of products. Our packages go to APO/FPO addresses primarily in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and on Naval ships worldwide. We often hear from servicewomen stating that our packages are the "best [they] ever received."
